Oldest Time Capsule Has Been Discovered In A Polish Church

Dating from 1797, the capsule was uncovered by workers as they dismantled the seven-metre spire of a former Evangelical church in Ziebice, in the south-west of the country. A small globe that had topped the spire contained a sealed copper canister and a collection of books and papers. Bullet holes in the globe are thought to date from the Red Army’s advance in 1945.
